I have shopped with Bravissimo for years & years, & hands down this is the worst item I’ve ever purchased. The fit is shockingly bad. Those inner cups?!...whomever is responsible for designing those bad boys needs a serious talking to & introducing to both a tape measure & an actual pair of breasts. Drrrrrrreadful :-(

Very surprised to discover today that this tankini hasn't been discontinued. Despite all the negative reviews I decided to take a chance buying it online [last year] as I loved the style. It was a complete disaster. As others have commented, the inner cups seemed to be at war with the outer material. They were lumpy, misshapen and clearly visible through the fabric, not a good look! First time I've encountered a quality problem with Bravissimo, and, as always, the customer service when I returned the tankini was excellent.

The colour blocking and style is really classic and beautiful. Unfortunately the cups inside the tankini are plunge fronted and mis-shapen (sort of undulating in a firm padded fabric that my boobs filled like a jelly in a mould). The whole point of this tankini for me was to provide coverage and support, so having such inadequate cups negates that advantage. Also, it is very awkward to get it on and fasten it due to the layers and fabric tightness. I think the colour change from white to black is too low down - not quite waist level - it should be just under the boobs - more of an empire line level. I've returned it. Pity, as it was a bargain in the sale.

I returned this because although the cup was OK, the fabric across the front gaped slightly. So if I had gone swimming in it I imagine it would have scooped up water. Avoid if you are narrow from shoulder to shoulder. Otherwise stylish and well made.

It looks very pretty and stylish, nice coverage and long enough, it comes up a bit big in the cups though. The only problem is that I could not clasp it on my own! The bra band is really soft and hidden under top layer of fabric so you can't reach back and do the hooks. My usual, clasping in the front first and then swivelling cups to the front will not work either with the 2 layers of tight fabric. After 20 mins of fighting I gave up. Sadly it will be returned.

I sized up one cup in this as I had found other Bravissimo bras to be too small for my normal cup size, but the cups on this were way too big, and also very tall. The fabric of the padded cups "rippled" which you could see from the outside so I'll have to size down possibly even 2 sizes. I'm hoping this is just due to the fit issue and that it won't happen if I exchange it to a smaller cup size. The length is ok-ish, I'd prefer if it was slightly longer, an inch or so, but it's manageable. I'm 175cm for reference. It's very comfortable overall but definitely take your normal size or possibly one down in the cup if you, like me, don't have very tall roots. The hardest part is putting it on, you need someone to help you put this on

Wow cleavage covered and boobies are well secured and in place ;) Great support! It gives a big busted girl like me confidence to enjoy the beach while looking great! Can't wait for summer! Thanks to you Bravissimo.
